Extract embedded images from Excel

Use jetformat excel extract-images to extract embedded images from Excel.

By Jetformat

This extracts workbook picture assets. It does not render a worksheet or turn native charts into image previews.

Steps

  1. Start with a local XLSX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat excel extract-images finance.xlsx -o finance-images

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output directory; defaults to <filename>-images

Check the result

Open the extracted assets and use excel to-pdf followed by pdf render when a worksheet preview is needed.

Notes and limits

This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat excel extract-images --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the excel command reference for the surrounding workflow.
